Multi-piston calipers tend to like more pressure with less volume.
We are in the correct hole, and the pressure is good: the brakes work just fine. What I'd like to fix is the 3-4 inches of pedal travel before the pressure starts to build and the brakes actually begin to actuate. In most disc brake cars, the brakes engage almost immediately after about 1" of pedal travel. With the MCPV-1, the brakes slowly start to grab after the pedal is depressed about 3 inches. This is why I asked about possibly removing the metering valve, which from what I understand operates by not allowing pressure to the front brakes until pressure builds to a certain level in the rear.

Again, what I am asking is this: Could removing the metering valve possibly allow the brakes to engage sooner? If I remove the metering valve, will this cause any problems within the master cylinder or require re-bleeding of the brakes?

Thank you for your response, but any insight you could offer into the function and possible removal of this metering valve would be greatly appreciated.
